THE OREGON . DAILY JOURNAL", PORTLAND', FRIDAY EVENING, V MAY 24, 1807. .,' I Note 16 Our Customers and the People in General We) are' being criticised by some of our worthy contempo' rarlca-or in language that cannot fail to be understood by all we are creating havoc with the business of certain stores. because we are always cutting prices. We've been in busi ness for more than 14 years and it's time our methods were understood. ' We are in business to undersell. We are in busi ness to serve the masses. We buy surplus, stocks, sure, If we get them so cheap that we can make the people's dollar worth two dollars We send our agent east among the makers, 'and if we discover one who is hard up for funds, well give him money for goods, provided he needs money urgently, and will sell accordingly ' Is there any harm in that? Aren't we -the people's agents ? Isn't this the people's store? Don't the peo ple appreciate it? .. Would this always be the busiest store if it weren't always the best? We sell more .clothing, shoes, hats and furnishing goods than any two stores in Portland, Oregon, because we have the outlet, and the outlet wouldn't exist if we didn't undersell You must admit that for mer chandise, fine, medium or trifling, this is the store, and no matter what you see, or when you see it, or where you see it, you will find it here for legs.' "You may dress better, and' swell your bank account, if you learn this lesson by heart and profit by it. We have no charge accounts, we sell only for cash.
